Red, Yellow and Blue

Ever since I got my ticket for the Roger's Picnic in Toronto I've been listening to Born Ruffians. They played Summerstage with VW and I'm really into their full debut album: Red, Yellow and Blue. It took about a week to really get into and and love it but it was totally worth it. Atypical stuff- group vocals and slurred lyrics but not in a drunk kind of Strokes-y way.

You can hear a 30 second preview of every song on the album via MTV
While you're at it, check out the Pitchfork review as well.


My favorite tracks are 'Kurt Vonnegut' 'Red Elephant' 'Foxes Mate for Life' and 'Barnacle Goose', but if you want to buy some of the songs I [HIGHLY REC] just downloading all of it because I think it's best as a whole thing.

(That's the band there in a pretty good blend of mainstream/alt.)
